His reaction doesn't make sense to me."Possibly, but I think this more important when the supported hardware or software is more exotic or vintage."
Is he saying that, in his opinion, such a feature would be more useful if the port is available for, for instance, OS/2, than if it's available for Linux or OS X, because most stuff is on the three major platforms nowadays?

I guess he meant something like that.
Maybe he especially meant ports that work *only* on an "exotic" system, like lvcabral's port for Roku.
(Of course you can just ask him what he meant...)
